Yoko Ono's Wish Tree at the Brooklyn Museum

My cousin spotted this today at the Brooklyn Museum and sent me a picture.

Inspired by my project? Or zeitgeist? Or kismet?

No, it's Yoko Ono's Wish Tree, an audience-and-artist collaborative project that she has mounted in locations around the world since the 1990s.



I imagine it is more inspired by wishing trees in Japan, like these in Kyoto depicted in Lost in Translation.


Yet there is a resonance -- dated phrases hand-written on tags, strung up on something outside.

Tying on wishes, hanging prayers.

Speaking to the wind.
